Excited

the feeling everyone has when it is 'sap' weather. =D (maple sap weather, just to clarify. we make our own maple syrup out of that sap each year.)

Conspicuous

all the bright blue lines and barrels winding through all the gray trees.

Faithful

the trees that continue to produce large amounts of sap year after year.

Tedious

siphoning sap from one barrel to another.

Sicky

the handle of the 'tasting spoon.' =D

Aroma

the slight, unique, and sweet smell whenever one nears the sap-house.

Warm

the lights inside the sap-house--perfect for warming wet and numb fingers.

Sweet

the finished product. =) It is oh so very sweet!

Have a wonderful day!

Love in Christ,

Life Defined -Skiing

Joining up with Näna over at By the Way. =)


This is my experience every Friday, so I figured it was appropriate to do today. =D




Busy is
trying to get all my schoolwork done for the day in 3 hours and packing for the day.

Careful is
driving through snowy, slushy, and/or icy roads to get to the slopes.

Confusion is 
sorting out everybody's gear, tickets, and food.

Freedom is
flying down the slopes without a care in the world.

Silence is
the wind in the trees,
skies swishing through the powder,
snowflakes drifting down,
sunshine seeping through the branches,
and my foggy breath through my scarf.

Cold is are
my fingers, toes, and nose after a few hours in the wind.

Warm is
a hot chocolate break inside the lodge. =)

Refreshing is
walking back outside into the wind to hit the slopes once again!

Relief is 
taking ski boots off and walking 'normally' once again. =P

Contentment is
climbing wearily back into the car for the ride back home.

Tired is
watching my little brother fall asleep in the car and wishing I could do the same.



Love in Christ,
